Job summary

Oracle is seeking a Principal Supply Chain Engineer – Factory Quality to lead factory quality activities for hardware products and ensure readiness for ramp and shipment. The role emphasizes IQC, OQC, OBA, RCCA, and robust data-driven risk management across multiple manufacturing sites.

You will collaborate with California-based partners and internal engineering teams to identify risks, contain issues, and drive corrective actions to closure, supporting successful product ramps and on-time

Qualifications

• Experience in manufacturing quality, process quality, supplier quality, product quality, hardware quality, or reliability engineering.
• Strong working knowledge of IQC, OQC, OBA, factory test flows, yield metrics, pareto analysis, retest rates, containment, and corrective-action processes.
• Experience applying structured RCCA methodologies such as 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone, CAPA, or other disciplined problem-solving approaches.
• Demonstrated ability to analyze failure data, distinguish known issues from emerging risks, and drive fact-based problem resolution with manufacturing partners, suppliers, and internal engineering teams.

Responsibilities

• Monitor factory quality performance across assigned products and manufacturing sites, including IQC, OQC, OBA, L10/L11 yield, FPY, APY, retest rates, failure pareto, and test stability.
• Analyze factory quality signals to identify emerging risks, containment gaps, unresolved manufacturing issues, and potential customer escapes before products ramp or ship.
• Drive factory issue containment, failure-data reviews, RCCA follow-up, and corrective-action validation in partnership with manufacturing partners, suppliers, and Oracle engineering teams.
• Ensure process escapes, rework risks, test instability, and recurring failure modes are documented, assigned to clear owners, and tracked through verified closure.
• Review factory test coverage to ensure known failure modes can be effectively detected before shipment.
• Validate the effectiveness of OBA controls in identifying workmanship, configuration, labeling, packaging, cosmetic, documentation, and functional escapes.
• Partner with Manufacturing and Test teams to address yield gaps, reduce debug and retest churn, improve test stability, and prevent recurring production-line failures.
• Support NCAT, SSP, program-readiness reviews, and executive quality updates with clear data, concise risk assessments, and recommended actions.
• Work frequently on-site with Texas-based manufacturing partners, including IGS and Foxconn, to verify that process controls, inspection criteria, rework instructions, escalation paths, and quality gates are established and effective.
• Build and maintain factory quality risk registers for key programs, including containment status, RCCA ownership, target closure dates, and residual risk.
• Support OK-to-Ramp and OK-to-Ship decisions by ensuring remaining quality risks are clearly documented, current, and actionable.
